[0255] In some embodiments, if the receiving time difference (RTD) between reference signals (e.g., SSBs) from multiple target cells is less than or equal to the cyclic prefix (CP), when the SSBs of multiple target cells overlap, the terminal device may use a single Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processor to process these SSBs. The above-mentioned multiple target cells include the service cell and adjacent cells of the terminal device. Optionally, the multiple target cells may be cells of the same frequency layer. Optionally, terms such as "RTD", "TO", "signal time difference", and "received signal time difference" may be interchangeable.

[0256] In other embodiments, if the RTD between reference signals (e.g., SSBs) from multiple target cells is greater than the CP, when the SSBs of the multiple target cells overlap, the terminal device cannot use a single FFT processor to process these SSBs in parallel. The multiple target cells may include the serving cell and neighboring cells of the terminal device. Optionally, the multiple target cells may be cells on the same frequency layer.

[0257] In one implementation, the terminal device supports RTD>CP capability. For example, the terminal device can be configured with multiple FFT processors. When the SSBs of multiple target cells overlap, the terminal device can use multiple FFT processors to process these SSBs.

[0258] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a measurement period may be set, and signal measurement may be performed according to the measurement period. In order to achieve measurement of a target cell under different conditions (scenarios), different measurement periods may be set.

[0259] In some embodiments, a first condition may be set, and different measurement cycles may be determined based on whether the terminal device satisfies the first condition.

[0260] The first condition may be used to determine whether the terminal device can perform signal measurements on adjacent cells and serving cells based on different Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processors. Optionally, terms such as "can," "may," "need," "expect," and "anticipate" may be interchangeable.

[0261] In some embodiments, the first condition may include at least one of the following:

[0262] The terminal device supports a first capability, where the first capability is the capability of the terminal device to support a reception time difference (RTD) of multiple target cells greater than a cyclic prefix (CP), where the target cells include a serving cell and / or a neighboring cell of the terminal device;

[0263] The terminal device is configured with a first processor, which may be an FFT processor capable of measuring neighboring cells;

[0264] The time difference between the terminal device receiving signals from multiple target cells can be greater than the CP.

[0265] For example, the first condition may include: the time difference of the terminal device receiving signals from multiple target cells (serving cells and / or neighboring cells) can be greater than CP, and the terminal device supports the first capability (RTD>CP capability).

[0266] For another example, the first condition may include: the time difference between signals received by the terminal device from multiple target cells can be greater than the CP, and the terminal device is configured with a first processor, which may be an FFT processor specifically used for neighboring cell measurement.

[0267] For another example, the first condition may include: the terminal device supports the first capability, and the terminal device is configured with a first processor.

[0268] For another example, the first condition may include: the time difference of the terminal device receiving signals from multiple target cells can be greater than the CP, or the terminal device is configured with a first processor, or the time difference of the terminal device receiving signals from multiple target cells can be greater than the CP.

[0269] In one implementation, the first capability may also be referred to as "RTD>CP capability".

[0270] In one implementation, the first processor may include an FFT processor specifically used for measuring neighboring cells. Optionally, the first processor may also include an FFT processor not used by the serving cell, which may be allocated for a certain period of time to be used specifically for measuring neighboring cells. For example, if the terminal device still has any remaining FFT processors after being occupied by the serving cell, the remaining FFT processors may be defined as the first processor. The first processor may include one or more FFT processors.

[0271] Optionally, the terminal device may be further configured with a second processor, which may be an FFT processor capable of measuring the serving cell. The second processor may include one or more FFT processors.

[0272] For example, the terminal device has M1 processors, and M2 processors can be configured as second processors for measuring the serving cell, and M3 processors can be configured as first processors for measuring the adjacent cell, where the sum of M2 and M3 is less than or equal to M1.

[0273] In one implementation, it can be determined, based on the network configuration, that the time difference between signals received by a terminal device from multiple target cells is greater than the CP. For example, if the relative distance between multiple target cells is greater than a threshold, it can be determined that the time difference between signals received by the terminal device from multiple target cells is greater than the CP. For another example, if a specific flag is present in the configuration issued by the network device, it can be determined that the time difference between signals received by the terminal device from multiple target cells is greater than the CP.

[0274] In one implementation, the time difference between signals received by the terminal device from multiple target cells can be greater than the CP, which can be used to characterize the

[0275] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a third measurement period may be determined based on the second information, and signal measurement may be performed based on the third measurement period. For example, signal measurement may be performed on the serving cell and the neighboring cell based on the third measurement period.

[0276] In some embodiments, when the terminal device does not meet the above-mentioned first condition, the third measurement period can be determined based on the second information.

[0277] In some embodiments, the name of the third measurement period is not limited, for example, it can be "measurement period", "same-frequency measurement period", "same-frequency L1-RSRP measurement period", "same-frequency L1-RSRP measurement period based on frequency range 1 (Frequency range, FR1)", etc.

[0278] In some embodiments, the second information may include at least one of the following:

[0279] Whether the terminal device is configured with Discontinuous Reception (DRX);

[0280] DRX cycle T of the terminal device DRX ;

[0281] The measurement reporting period of the terminal device is T Report ;

[0285] A fourth parameter P, which is a parameter determined according to the measurement gap GAP and the SSB time slot occasion configured by the terminal device;

[0286] The fifth parameter K is a preset parameter.

[0287] In one implementation, the third parameter may be determined by any one of the following methods:

[0288] When timeRestrictionForChannelMeasurement is configured at a higher level, the third parameter M may be 1;

[0289] When timeRestrictionForChannelMeasurement is configured at a higher level, the third parameter M may be 3;

[0290] The third parameter M may be a value preset by the terminal device, such as 1 or 3. Optionally, the terminal device may send the third parameter M to the network device;

[0291] The third parameter M may be a value preset by the network device, such as 1 or 3. Optionally, the network device may send the third parameter M to the terminal device;

[0292] In one implementation, the fourth parameter P may be determined by any one of the following methods:

[0293] The fourth parameter P may be a value preset for the terminal device or a value configured by the network device, such as 1;

[0294] When the measurement gap GAP configured by the terminal device overlaps with the time slot occasion of SSB, according to the formula The fourth parameter P is calculated, where T SSB_NBC Indicates the period of the synchronization signal block SSB index of the adjacent cell of the terminal device, MGRP represents the measurement gap repetition period (Measurement Gap Repetition Period), and the measurement gap GAP includes at least one of the following: the GAP of the intra-frequency neighboring cell measurement, the GAP of the inter-frequency neighboring cell measurement, and the GAP of the inter-RAT neighboring cell measurement;

[0295] When the measurement gap GAP configured by the terminal device does not overlap with the time slot occasion of the SSB, the fourth parameter P may be a preset value (eg, 1).

[0296] In one implementation, the fifth parameter K may be determined by any one of the following methods:

[0297] The fifth parameter K may be a value preset for the terminal device or a value configured by the network device, such as 1 or 1.5;

[0298] In T SSB_NBC When the time is less than or equal to the first preset time length (for example, 40 milliseconds) and the terminal device has started high-speed measurement, the fifth parameter K may be 1; otherwise, the fifth parameter K may be 1.5, where the terminal device starting high-speed measurement may be that the terminal device is configured with highSpeedMeasFlag-r16 or highSpeedMeasCA-Scell-r17.

[0299] The above method can be used to determine the second information according to different configurations or different scenarios of the terminal device, so that the third measurement period can be flexibly determined.

[0300] In some embodiments, a method for determining the third measurement period according to the second information may be as shown in Table 1 below:

[0301] Table 1

[0302] As shown in Table 1, according to different configurations of the terminal device, the third measurement period can be calculated in different ways.

[0308] It should be noted that each row or column in Table 1 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, and the combination of any rows or columns can also be implemented as an independent embodiment.

[0309] In some embodiments, the measurement period for the terminal device to measure the serving cell and the measurement period for the terminal device to measure the neighboring cell may be the same or different. For example, the third measurement period may also be the period for the terminal device to measure the serving cell. For example, the terminal device may measure the serving cell according to the third measurement period.

[0310] By adopting the above method, different measurement cycles can be determined according to different configurations, thereby improving the flexibility of measurement cycle configuration and enhancing measurement accuracy.

[0324] When the terminal device is configured with DRX and the DRX cycle is less than or equal to the second preset duration (for example, 320 milliseconds), the formula max(T Report ,ceil(K*M*P)*max(T DRX ,T SSB_NBC )*P FFT ) calculates the first measurement cycle.

[0329] In some embodiments, the first parameter P FFTIt can be 1. If the first parameter is equal to 1, the first parameter may not be required and the third measurement period may be directly used as the first measurement period.

[0330] In some embodiments, the measurement period for the terminal device to measure the serving cell and the measurement period for the neighboring cell may be the same or different. For example, the first measurement period may also be the period for the terminal device to measure the serving cell. For example, the terminal device may measure the serving cell according to the first measurement period.

[0331] By adopting the above method, different measurement cycles can be configured for adjacent cells according to different configurations, thereby improving the flexibility of the measurement cycle configuration of the adjacent cells and improving the measurement accuracy.

[0332] FIG2A is an interactive schematic diagram of a measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may be performed by the above-mentioned communication system. As shown in FIG2A , the method may include:

[0333] Step S2101: The network device sends a Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) to the terminal device.

[0334] In some embodiments, the terminal device may receive the TCI. For example, the terminal device may receive the TCI sent by the network device.

[0335] In some embodiments, the TCI may be used to configure a TCI status list for a terminal device.

[0336] In some embodiments, the terminal device may be configured with one or more TCI status lists.

[0337] In some embodiments, the network device may send a first message that may include the TCI. For example, the network device may send the first message to the terminal device. Optionally, the terminal device may receive the first message.

[0338] Optionally, the first message may include at least one of a radio resource control RRC (Radio Resource Control) message, a medium access control control element MAC CE (Medium Access Control Control Element), downlink control information DCI (Downlink Control Information), or other messages sent by a network device to a terminal device.

[0339] In some embodiments, step S2101 may be omitted. For example, the network device may not send the TCI, and the terminal device may not configure the TCI. For another example, the terminal device may autonomously implement the function indicated by the TCI, such as autonomously configuring a TCI status list.

[0340] Step S2102: The network device sends a TCI status activation indication to the terminal device.

[0341] In some embodiments, the terminal device may receive the TCI state activation indication. For example, the terminal device may receive the TCI state activation indication sent by the network device.

[0342] In some embodiments, the TCI state activation indication may be used to activate the TCI state, for example, to determine an activated TCI state list.

[0343] In some embodiments, the TCI state activation indication may be used to determine TCI information of the terminal device, and the TCI information may be used to determine whether a neighboring cell is on the activated TCI state list.

[0344] In some embodiments, the terminal device may activate one or more TCI state lists.

[0345] In some embodiments, the network device may send a second message that may include the aforementioned state activation indication. For example, the network device may send the second message to the terminal device. Optionally, the terminal device may receive the second message.

[0346] Optionally, the second message may include at least one of an RRC message, a MAC CE, a DCI, or other messages sent by the network device to the terminal device.

[0347] In some embodiments, step S2102 may be omitted, and the terminal device may autonomously implement functions related to the TCI activation indication.

[0348] For example, if the network device does not send a TCI activation indication, or the terminal device does not receive a TCI activation indication, the terminal device does not have an activated TCI status list.

[0349] For another example, the terminal device may activate the TCI state at a specified time after receiving the TCI, thereby determining an activated TCI state list.

[0350] For another example, after receiving TCI, the terminal device may periodically activate the TCI state, thereby determining an activated TCI state list.

[0351] Step S2103: The network device determines a first parameter.

[0352] In some embodiments, the first parameter may be a scaling factor of the measurement period corresponding to the neighboring cell. FFT .

[0353] In some embodiments, the first parameter may be a measurement period scaling factor determined according to the capabilities of the terminal device.

[0354] In some embodiments, the first parameter (P FFT ) can be a preset value, for example, the first parameter is 2 or 10.

[0355] In some embodiments, the first parameter (P FFT ), the first information may be information related to adjacent cells of the terminal device.

[0356] In some embodiments, the first information may include at least one of the following:

[0357] Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) information, which is used to determine whether a neighboring cell is on the activated TCI status list;

[0358] a first number, which may be the number of neighboring cells;

[0359] a second number, where the second number may be the number of first-category neighboring cells, where the first-category neighboring cells are cells in the activated TCI state list among the neighboring cells;

[0360] a third number, where the third number may be the number of second-category neighboring cells, where the second-category neighboring cells are cells that are not in the activated TCI state list among the neighboring cells;

[0361] a fourth number, where the fourth number is the number of first processors, where the first processor is an FFT processor that can be used to measure neighboring cells;

[0362] a fifth number, the fifth number being the number of first processors allocated to the first type of neighboring cells;

[0363] The sixth number is the number of first processors allocated to the second-type neighboring cells.

[0364] Optionally, the first number, second number, third number, fourth number, fifth number, and sixth number may all be integers greater than or equal to 0. Optionally, the sum of the second number and the third number may be less than or equal to the first number. Optionally, the sum of the fifth number and the sixth number may be less than or equal to the fourth number.

[0365] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned activated TCI status list can be determined according to step S2101 and / or step S2102.

[0366] In some embodiments, a terminal device may have two types of neighboring cells, where the first type of neighboring cells are cells in the activated TCI state list, and the second type of neighboring cells are cells not in the activated TCI state list. Optionally, the terminal device may not have the first type of neighboring cells, for example, the second number is equal to 0. Alternatively, the terminal device may only have the second type of neighboring cells, for example, the second number is 0; or the terminal device may only have the first type of neighboring cells, for example, the third number is 0.

[0367] In some embodiments, the aforementioned adjacent cell may be an adjacent cell configured by the network device for the terminal device.

[0368] In some embodiments, the neighboring cell may be a neighboring cell that the terminal device expects to measure. Optionally, the neighboring cell expected to be measured may be a subset or a full set of neighboring cells configured by the network device for the terminal device. For example, if the network device configures three neighboring cells NC1, NC2, and NC3 for the terminal device, the neighboring cells may be NC1, NC2, and NC3, or NC1 and NC2, or any one of NC1, NC2, and NC3.

[0369] In some embodiments, the neighboring cells may be neighboring cells selected by the terminal device. For example, the network device may configure neighboring cells for the terminal device, including NC-1 to NC-x, for a total of x cells. The terminal device may select y cells from these x cells as neighboring cells to be measured.

[0370] In some embodiments, the terminal device may report the neighboring cells (or selected neighboring cells) expected to be measured to the network device, or report the maximum number of neighboring cells expected to be measured to the network device. Optionally, the network device may determine the neighboring cells based on the maximum number reported by the terminal device, or the network device may determine at least one of the first number, the second number, and the third number based on the maximum number reported by the terminal device.

[0371] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, there are multiple optional ways to determine the first parameter according to the first information, for example:

[0372] In some embodiments, it is determined that the first number is less than or equal to the fourth number, and the first parameter is determined to be P11, where P11 is a preset positive integer. Optionally, P11 may be equal to 1.

[0373] Optionally, when it is determined that the first number (the number of neighboring cells) is less than or equal to the fourth number (the number of FFT processors that can be used for neighboring cell measurement), the first parameter is determined to be P11.

[0374] For example, when at least one symbol of the SSB from the target cell (including the serving cell and / or the adjacent cell) is overlapped or adjacent in the time domain, if the number of adjacent cells to be measured by the terminal device is 1 (that is, N1 is 1, the first number is equal to 1), then the above P11 can be 1, that is, the first parameter (P FFT ) is 1.

[0375] For another example, the number of first processors of the terminal device (that is, the fourth number) is M. As long as the number of adjacent cells is less than or equal to M, a first processor can be allocated to each adjacent cell. The first parameter (P FFT ) can also be 1.

[0376] Optionally, if the first number is less than or equal to the fourth number, a first processor may be allocated to each adjacent cell. That is, the number of FFT processors can meet the parallel processing requirements of adjacent cells. Therefore, the first parameter may be determined to be 1.

[0377] Optionally, if the first number is less than or equal to the fourth number, the first parameter may not be required, and the third measurement period may be directly used as the first measurement period.

[0378] In this way, the first measurement period is determined according to the first parameter, and the first processor is used to measure the adjacent cells based on the first measurement period, which can improve the timeliness of signal measurement.

[0379] In other embodiments, it is determined that the first quantity is greater than the fourth quantity, and the first parameter is determined based on the TCI information, the fourth quantity and the third information; wherein the third information may include at least one of the following: the first quantity, the second quantity, the third quantity, the fifth quantity, and the sixth quantity.

[0380] Optionally, when it is determined that the first quantity is greater than the fourth quantity, the first parameter is determined according to the TCI information, the fourth quantity and the third information.

[0381] Optionally, if the first number is greater than the fourth number, it is impossible to allocate a first processor to each adjacent cell, that is, the FFT processor cannot meet the needs of parallel processing of multiple adjacent cells. Therefore, the measurement period of the adjacent cells (that is, the first measurement period) can be adjusted to realize signal measurement of multiple adjacent cells according to the first processor.

[0382] Optionally, in this embodiment, whether the first number is greater than the fourth number may be ignored, and the first parameter may be determined directly based on the TCI information, the fourth number and the third information.

[0383] There are multiple optional implementations for determining the first parameter based on the TCI information, the fourth quantity, and the third information. For example:

[0384] In a first implementation, it is determined based on TCI information that the terminal device has adjacent cells on the activated TCI status list, the first processor is allocated to the first type of adjacent cells, and the first parameter is determined based on the second quantity and the fourth quantity.

[0385] Optionally, when it is determined based on TCI information that the terminal device has adjacent cells on the activated TCI status list, the first processor is allocated to the first type of adjacent cells for use, and the first parameter corresponding to the first type of adjacent cells is determined based on the second quantity and the fourth quantity.

[0386] Optionally, the second type of adjacent cells may not be configured with the first parameter, or the first parameter corresponding to the second type of adjacent cells may be determined as an invalid value (e.g., 0 or a specific value). In this way, the first processor may be used to preferentially measure the first type of adjacent cells without measuring the second type of adjacent cells.

[0387] In this way, the first processor can be preferentially allocated to the first type of neighboring cells, thereby improving the measurement efficiency of the first type of neighboring cells.

[0388] There are also multiple ways to determine the first parameter based on the second quantity and the fourth quantity, for example:

[0389] In an optional manner, the second number and the fourth number are both positive integers, and the first parameter can be determined as P21, where P21 is equal to a value obtained by rounding up the quotient of the second number and the fourth number.

[0390] For example, when it is determined according to the TCI information that the terminal device has a neighboring cell on the activated TCI state list, the first processor is allocated to the first type of neighboring cell for use, and the first parameter (P FFT ): P FFT =ceil(NcellList / N FFT4 );

[0391] Among them, P FFT represents the first parameter corresponding to the first type of neighboring cells, NcellList represents the second number (the number of the first type of neighboring cells), N FFT4 represents the fourth quantity (the number of the first processors), and ceil represents a mathematical rounding-up operation.

[0392] In another alternative, if the fourth number (N FFT4 ) is equal to 1, then the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to the second number (NcellList).

[0393] In another optional manner, if the fourth number (N FFT4 ) is greater than or equal to 1, and the second number (NcellList) is greater than or equal to the fourth number (N FFT4 ), then the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to P21, where P21 is equal to the value obtained by rounding up the quotient of the second number and the fourth number.

[0394] In another alternative, if the second number (NcellList) is less than or equal to the fourth number (N FFT4 ), the first parameter can be determined as P22, where P22 is a preset positive integer. Optionally, P22 can be equal to 1.

[0395] If the number of first processors of the terminal device (that is, the fourth number) is equal to 1, and the number of the first type of adjacent cells of the terminal device (that is, the second number), the adjacent cells include the first type of adjacent cells and the second type of adjacent cells, wherein the number of the first type of adjacent cells is the second number, then the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to the second number (the number of first-type neighboring cells).

[0396] In this way, the first processor can prioritize processing the first type of neighboring cells, thereby improving the measurement reliability of the first type of neighboring cells.

[0397] In a second implementation, when the fourth number is equal to N1 and it is determined based on the TCI information that a terminal device has a neighboring cell on an activated TCI status list, a fourth number of first processors are used to perform signal measurements on the first-category neighboring cells and the second-category neighboring cells; a first parameter corresponding to the first-category neighboring cells is determined as the product of the second number and the first value, where the first value is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2; and a first parameter corresponding to the second-category neighboring cells is determined as the product of the third number and the first value. Optionally, N1 is equal to 1, and the first value is equal to 2.

[0398] For example, when it is determined according to the TCI information that the terminal device has a neighboring cell on the activated TCI state list, and the fourth number is equal to 1 (that is, there is only one first processor), a first processor can be used to perform signal measurement on the first type of neighboring cell and the second type of neighboring cell, and the first parameter (P FFT) can be equal to twice the second number (the number of the first type of neighboring cells), and the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to twice the third number (the number of second-type neighboring cells).

[0399] In this way, the first type of neighboring cells and the second type of neighboring cells share the first processor on average and can both be measured. At the same time, when the number of first type of neighboring cells is less than that of second type of neighboring cells, the measurement priority of the first type of neighboring cells can be increased.

[0400] In a third implementation, when the fourth number is greater than N1 and it is determined based on the TCI information that a terminal device has a neighboring cell on the activated TCI status list, a fifth number of first processors are allocated for use by the first type of neighboring cells, and a sixth number of first processors are allocated for use by the second type of neighboring cells; a first parameter corresponding to the first type of neighboring cells is determined based on the second number and the fifth number, where the fifth number is less than or equal to the second number; and a first parameter corresponding to the second type of neighboring cells is determined based on the third number and the sixth number, where the sixth number is less than or equal to the third number. Optionally, N1 is equal to 1.

[0401] There are many ways to determine the fifth and sixth quantities, for example:

[0402] For example, if the fourth number (the number of first processors) is greater than the second number (the number of first-type adjacent cells), the fifth number is equal to the second number, the sixth number can be less than or equal to the first difference (the first difference is the difference obtained by subtracting the second number from the fourth number), the first parameter corresponding to the first-type adjacent cell can be set to 1, and the first parameter corresponding to the second-type adjacent cell is determined based on the third number and the sixth number.

[0403] In this way, when the number of first processors is large enough (greater than the number of first-type neighboring cells), each first-type neighboring cell can be allocated to a first processor, and then the remaining first processors can be allocated to second-type neighboring cells.

[0404] For another example, if the fourth number (the number of first processors) is less than or equal to the second number (the number of first-type adjacent cells), the fifth number is equal to the fourth number, the sixth number can be equal to 0, and the first parameter corresponding to the first-type adjacent cell is determined based on the second number and the fifth number.

[0405] In this way, the first processor can be preferentially allocated to the first type of neighboring cells.

[0406] For another example, if the fourth number (the number of first processors) is less than or equal to the second number (the number of first-type adjacent cells), the sixth number can be equal to a preset value (for example, 1), and the fifth number can be equal to the second difference (the second difference is equal to the difference obtained by subtracting the preset value from the fourth number). The first parameter corresponding to the first-type adjacent cell can be determined based on the second number and the fifth number, and the first parameter corresponding to the second-type adjacent cell can be determined based on the third number and the sixth number.

[0407] In this way, a sixth number (eg, 1) of first processors may be reserved for the second type of neighboring cells, and the remaining first processors may be allocated to the first type of neighboring cells.

[0408] There are also multiple ways to determine the first parameter corresponding to the first type of neighboring cells based on the second number and the fifth number. For example:

[0409] In an optional manner, the first parameter corresponding to the first type of neighboring cell can be determined as P32, where P32 is a value obtained by rounding up the quotient of the second number and the fifth number. For example, the first parameter corresponding to the first type of neighboring cell (P FFT ): P FFT =ceil(NcellList / N FFT5 );

[0410] Among them, P FFT represents the first parameter corresponding to the first type of neighboring cells, NcellList represents the second number (the number of the first type of neighboring cells), N FFT5 represents a fifth number (the number of first processors that can be used to measure the first-type neighboring cells), and ceil represents a mathematical rounding-up operation.

[0411] In another alternative, if the fifth number (N FFT5 ) is equal to N1 (for example, 1), then the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to the second number (NcellList).

[0412] In another alternative, if the fifth number (N FFT5 ) is equal to the second number (NcellList), then the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to P31, where P31 is a positive integer. For example, P31 can be equal to 1.

[0413] In another alternative, if the fifth number (N FFT5 ) is greater than N1 (for example, 1) and less than the second number (NcellList), then the first parameter (P FFT) can be equal to P32, where P32 is the value obtained by rounding up the quotient of the second number and the fifth number.

[0414] There are also multiple ways to determine the first parameter corresponding to the second type of neighboring cells based on the third number and the sixth number. For example:

[0415] In an optional manner, the first parameter corresponding to the second type of neighboring cell may be determined as P42, where P42 is a value obtained by rounding up the quotient of the third number and the sixth number. For example, the first parameter corresponding to the second type of neighboring cell (P FFT ): P FFT =ceil(N NeighborCell / N FFT6 );

[0416] Among them, P FFT Indicates the first parameter corresponding to the second type of neighboring cells, N NeighborCell represents the third number (the number of the second type of neighboring cells), N FFT6 represents a sixth number (the number of first processors that can be used to measure the second-type neighboring cells), and ceil represents a mathematical rounding-up operation.

[0417] In another alternative, if the sixth number (N FFT6 ) is equal to N1 (for example, 1), then the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to the third number (N NeighborCell ).

[0418] In another optional manner, if the sixth number (N FFT6 ) is equal to the third number (N NeighborCell ), then the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to P41, where P41 is a positive integer. For example, P41 can be equal to 1.

[0419] In another alternative, if the fifth number (N FFT5 ) is greater than N1 (for example, 1) and less than the second number (NcellList), then the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to P42, where P42 is the value obtained by rounding up the quotient of the third number and the sixth number.

[0420] In this way, multiple first processors can be respectively allocated to the first type of adjacent cells and the second type of adjacent cells to perform signal measurement, thereby improving the reliability of signal measurement.

[0421] In a fourth implementation, it is determined based on the TCI information that the terminal device has no adjacent cells on the activated TCI status list; the first processor is allocated to the second type of adjacent cells for use; and the first parameter corresponding to the second type of adjacent cells is determined based on the third quantity and the fourth quantity.

[0422] There are also multiple ways to determine the first parameter based on the third quantity and the fourth quantity, for example:

[0423] In an optional manner, the first parameter corresponding to the second type of neighboring cell may be determined as P51, where P51 is a value obtained by rounding up the quotient of the third number and the fourth number. For example, the first parameter corresponding to the second type of neighboring cell (P FFT ): P FFT =ceil(N NeighborCell / N FFT4 );

[0424] Among them, P FFT Indicates the first parameter corresponding to the second type of neighboring cells, N NeighborCell represents the third number (the number of the second type of neighboring cells), N FFT4 represents the fourth quantity (the number of the first processors), and ceil represents a mathematical rounding-up operation.

[0425] In another optional manner, if the fourth number is equal to N1 (for example, 1), the first parameter is determined to be the third number.

[0426] In another optional manner, if the fourth number is greater than or equal to N1 (for example, 1), the first parameter may be determined as P51, where P51 is a value obtained by rounding up the quotient of the third number and the fourth number.

[0427] In another optional manner, if the fourth number is greater than or equal to N1 (for example, 1), the first parameter may be determined as P52, where P52 is the number of frequency layers (for example, frequency points) that the terminal device expects to measure.

[0428] In this way, when there are no first-category neighboring cells, the first processor may be allocated to the second-category neighboring cells to perform signal measurement.

[0429] In some other embodiments, it is not necessary to classify the neighboring cells, or two types of neighboring cells may be processed uniformly, and the first parameter of the neighboring cell may be determined according to the first information. For example:

[0430] In an optional manner, the first number and the fourth number are both positive integers, and the first parameter can be determined as P61, where P61 is a value obtained by rounding up the quotient of the first number and the fourth number. For example, the first parameter (P) corresponding to the first type of neighboring cell can be determined according to the following formula: FFT ): P FFT =ceil(Ncell / N FFT4 );

[0431] Among them, P FFT represents the first parameter, Ncell represents the first number (the number of adjacent cells), N FFT4 represents the fourth quantity (the number of the first processors), and ceil represents a mathematical rounding-up operation.

[0726] Figure 5 is a flow chart of a measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5, the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a measurement method, which can be performed by a terminal device and / or a network device in a communication system. The method may include:

[0727] Step S5101: Determine the first parameter.

[0728] In some embodiments, the first parameter may be a measurement period scaling factor corresponding to the neighboring cell. Optionally, the first parameter may also be referred to as a "scaling factor," a "measurement period scaling factor," a "L1-RSRP measurement period scaling factor," or a "P FFT ”.

[0729] In some embodiments, the first parameter (P FFT ), the first information may include at least one of the following:

[0730] Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) information, which is used to determine whether a neighboring cell is on the activated TCI status list;

[0731] a first number, which may be the number of neighboring cells;

[0732] a second number, where the second number may be the number of first-category neighboring cells, where the first-category neighboring cells are cells in the activated TCI state list among the neighboring cells;

[0733] a third number, where the third number may be the number of second-category neighboring cells, where the second-category neighboring cells are cells that are not in the activated TCI state list among the neighboring cells;

[0734] a fourth number, where the fourth number is the number of first processors, where the first processor is an FFT processor that can be used to measure neighboring cells;

[0735] a fifth number, the fifth number being the number of first processors allocated to the first type of neighboring cells;

[0736] The sixth number is the number of first processors allocated to the second-type neighboring cells.

[0737] In some embodiments, a terminal device may have two types of neighboring cells, where the first type of neighboring cells are cells in the activated TCI state list, and the second type of neighboring cells are cells not in the activated TCI state list. Optionally, the terminal device may not have the first type of neighboring cells, for example, the second number is equal to 0. Alternatively, the terminal device may only have the second type of neighboring cells, for example, the second number is 0; or the terminal device may only have the first type of neighboring cells, for example, the third number is 0.

[0738] In some embodiments, different scenarios can be distinguished to determine the first parameter (P FFT ).

[0739] Scenario 1: The number of adjacent cells (first number) is one.

[0740] Optionally, the first processor may be allocated to the one neighboring cell for use.

[0741] Optionally, the terminal device may have two FFT processors, one of which is a first processor (ie, an FFT processor for measuring adjacent cells) and the other is a second processor (ie, an FFT processor for measuring a serving cell).

[0742] For example, when at least one symbol of the SSB from the target cell (including the serving cell and / or the adjacent cell) is overlapped or adjacent in the time domain, if the number of adjacent cells to be measured by the terminal device is 1, the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to 2.

[0743] Scenario 2: The number of adjacent cells (first number) is greater than one.

[0744] Scenario 2 can be divided into the following two sub-scenarios based on the number of first processors (that is, the fourth number) of the terminal device:

[0745] Sub-scenario 1: the number of first processors of the terminal device (the fourth number) is equal to 1, and the number of adjacent cells is greater than 1.

[0746] Optionally, when the terminal device has two FFT processors, the serving cell may dedicate one FFT processor (defined as the second processor), and the other FFT processor (defined as the first processor) may be shared by multiple neighboring cells.

[0747] Optionally, the terminal device may have two types of cells, the first type of neighboring cells may be neighboring cells in the activated TCI state list, and the second type of neighboring cells may be neighboring cells not in the activated TCI state list.

[0748] In some embodiments, the use or allocation of the first processor and the determination of the first parameter in sub-scenario 1 may include any of the following optional implementations:

[0749] Optional implementation manner 1: preferentially allocating the first processor to the first type of adjacent cells.

[0750] Optionally, when the number of neighboring cells to be measured is greater than 1, and the number of first-type neighboring cells is greater than or equal to 1 (for example, an activated TCI state list is configured), the first-type neighboring cells may share one FFT processor, and the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to the fifth number (the number of first-type neighboring cells).

[0751] For example, P FFT =NcellList(NcellList>=1), where P FFT represents the first parameter corresponding to the first type of neighboring cells, and NcellList represents the second number (the number of the first type of neighboring cells).

[0752] Optionally, for the second type of neighboring cells (neighboring cells not in the TCI status list), the terminal device can skip the measurement of these neighboring cells.

[0753] Optionally, if the second number is equal to 0 (for example, if the terminal device is not configured with an activated TCI state list, or all neighboring cells are not in the activated TCI state list), then all cells can share one FFT processor.

[0754] For example, P FFT =N NeighborCell (N NeighborCell >=1), where N NeighborCellThe number of neighboring cells to be measured (for example, the same-frequency neighboring cells corresponding to the serving cell). The terminal device can select all or some of the neighboring cells to be measured.

[0755] Optional implementation manner 2: The first type of adjacent cells and the second type of adjacent cells share the first processor.

[0756] For example, if the number of neighboring cells to be measured is greater than 1 and the terminal device is configured with an activated TCI state list, the first type of neighboring cells and the second type of neighboring cells can share the first processor.

[0757] Optionally, the first parameter (P FFT ) may be equal to 2*NcellList (NcellList>=1), where NcellList represents the second number (the number of first-type neighboring cells)

[0758] Optionally, the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to 2*N NeighborCell (N NeighborCell >=1), where NNeighbr_Cell represents the third number (the number of the second type of neighboring cells). The terminal device can select all or part of the neighboring cells to be measured.

[0759] Optional implementation manner 3: All adjacent cells share and use the first processor.

[0760] For example, there is no need to distinguish between the first type of neighboring cells and the second type of neighboring cells, and all neighboring cells to be measured can share the first processor.

[0761] Optionally, when the number of neighboring cells to be measured is greater than 1, the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to N N_Cell (N N_Cell >=1), where N N_Cell Indicates the number of adjacent cells to be measured. The terminal device can select all or some of the adjacent cells to be measured.

[0762] Sub-scenario 2: the number of first processors of the terminal device (the fourth number) is greater than 1, and the number of adjacent cells is greater than 1.

[0763] Optionally, when the terminal device has three or more FFT processors, the serving cell may dedicate one FFT processor (defined as the second processor), and the other FFT processors (defined as the first processor) may be shared by multiple neighboring cells.

[0764] In some embodiments, the use or allocation of the first processor and the determination of the first parameter in sub-scenario 2 may include any of the following optional implementations:

[0765] Optional implementation manner 4: allocate a first processor to the first type of adjacent cells and the second type of adjacent cells respectively.

[0766] For example, there are two types of neighboring cells in the terminal device, and there is a fourth number (N FFT4 ) first processors, the fifth number (N FFT5 ) of the first processors are allocated to the first type of neighboring cells, and the remaining sixth number (N FFT6 ) first processors are shared by the second type of adjacent cells. FFT5 +N FFT6 )≤N FFT4 .

[0767] Optionally, if the fifth number (N FFT5 ) is equal to 1, then the first parameter (P FFT ) may be equal to NcellList (NcellList>=1), where NcellList represents the second number (the number of first-type neighboring cells).

[0768] Optionally, if the fifth number (N FFT5 ) is greater than or equal to the second number, then the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to 1.

[0769] Optionally, if the fifth number (N FFT5 ) is greater than or equal to 1, then the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to ceil(NcellList / N FFT5 ), where NcellList represents the second number (the number of the first type of neighboring cells), N FFT5 Indicates the fifth quantity.

[0770] Optionally, if the sixth number (N FFT6 ) is equal to 1, then the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to N NeighborCell (N NeighborCell >=1), where N NeighborCell represents the third number (the number of second-category neighboring cells).

[0771] Optionally, if the sixth number (N FFT6 ) is greater than or equal to the third number, then the first parameter (P FFT) can be equal to 1.

[0772] Optionally, if the sixth number (N FFT6 ) is greater than or equal to 1, then the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to ceil(N NeighborCell / N FFT6 ), where N NeighborCell represents the third number (the number of the second type of neighboring cells), N FFT6 Indicates the sixth quantity.

[0773] Optional implementation manner 5: All adjacent cells share the first processor.

[0774] Optionally, when the number of neighboring cells to be measured is greater than 1, all neighboring cells may share the first processor.

[0775] Optionally, the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to ceil(N N_Cell / N FFT4 ), where N N_Cell Indicates the number of adjacent cells to be measured. The terminal device can select all or part of the adjacent cells to be measured. FFT4 represents the fourth quantity (the number of the first processors), and ceil represents a mathematical rounding-up operation.

[0776] Optionally, the first parameter (P FFT ) can be equal to N layer , where N layer Indicates the number of frequency layers that the terminal device expects to measure.
